Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Options
- ACassiterite ore of tin contains the impurities of Wol-framite which are separated by electromagnetic separator.
- BTin metal is obtained by the carbon reduction of black tin.
- CIn the extraction of lead from galena, the roasting and self-reduction are carried in the same furnace at different temperatures.
- DReducing agent of haematite in blast-furnace is coke in upper part and CO in lower part of furnace.
Correct answer
D. Reducing agent of haematite in blast-furnace is coke in upper part and CO in lower part of furnace.
Step-by-step solution
(i) Cassiterite contains iron and manganese tungstate, called as Wolframite.
They have magnetic properties.
(ii) Purified ore that contains 70% \text{Sn}{\text{O}_{2} is called black tin.
\text{Sn}{\text{O}_{2} + 2C \to \text{Sn} + 2\text{CO} (carbon reduction)
(iii) Roasting is done at moderate temperature in presence of air in reverberatory furnace. Then air supply is stopped and temperature is increased to melt the mass when self
reduction takes place.
(iv) At 500 to 800K (lower temperature range in the upper part of blast furnace)
3\text{F}{\text{e}_{2}{O}_{3} + CO \to 2\text{F}{\text{e}_{3}{O}_{4} + \text{C}{\text{O}_{2}
\text{F}{\text{e}_{3}{O}_{4} + CO \to 3\text{Fe} + 4\text{C}{\text{O}_{2}
\text{F}{\text{e}_{2}{O}_{3} + CO \to 2\text{FeO} + \text{C}{\text{O}_{2}
At 900 to (higher temperature range in the lower part of blast furnace:
C + \text{C}{\text{O}_{2} \to 2\text{CO} , \text{FeO} + CO \to Fe + \text{C}{\text{O}_{2}
They have magnetic properties.
(ii) Purified ore that contains 70% \text{Sn}{\text{O}_{2} is called black tin.
\text{Sn}{\text{O}_{2} + 2C \to \text{Sn} + 2\text{CO} (carbon reduction)
(iii) Roasting is done at moderate temperature in presence of air in reverberatory furnace. Then air supply is stopped and temperature is increased to melt the mass when self
reduction takes place.
(iv) At 500 to 800K (lower temperature range in the upper part of blast furnace)
3\text{F}{\text{e}_{2}{O}_{3} + CO \to 2\text{F}{\text{e}_{3}{O}_{4} + \text{C}{\text{O}_{2}
\text{F}{\text{e}_{3}{O}_{4} + CO \to 3\text{Fe} + 4\text{C}{\text{O}_{2}
\text{F}{\text{e}_{2}{O}_{3} + CO \to 2\text{FeO} + \text{C}{\text{O}_{2}
At 900 to (higher temperature range in the lower part of blast furnace:
C + \text{C}{\text{O}_{2} \to 2\text{CO} , \text{FeO} + CO \to Fe + \text{C}{\text{O}_{2}
